Pros:

The staff is so friendly and the location is spectacular.

Cons:

Stairs very narrow and hard to navigate. I opted out of less expensive options for staying in a small boutique hotel, but this property is excessively expensive for the room and experience.

A wonderful hotel with lots about it , location and good service . Too expensive for what we got and pls provide coffee
Pros:

The location … fantastic ! The staff … fantastic ! The ambience and decor … fantastic!

Sadly some negatives …. I asked for a lower floor as I am quite debilitated and was put on the top floor ! This was a major issue .

Also for the money this cost … no coffee in the room !! Just tea and not even any milk . I think it’s poor . Then charging us for a coffee we bought , not very good customer service .

Perfect location for this quirky hotel
Pros:

Me and my 15 year old daughter had our first stay here. Check in was smooth and quick with a complimentary welcome drink. Our room was in the third floor. Not ideal for those who struggle with stairs especially steep and winding with your luggage. We managed ok though and this didnt put us off. Our room was quirky, clean and the bed was super comfortable. The location was absolutely perfect. Right in the heart of everything. We were able to walk everywhere. Value for money was excellent. We would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely book again when we visit. Hotel is also dog friendly which is a bonus.

Pros:

Locatie was top!

Cons:

Prijs/kwaliteit is helemaal uit verhouding. Basic kamers, piepkleine badkamer, heel basic ontbijt dat niet echt vers oogde en proefde.

Pros:

Really lovely staff. They couldn’t have been more helpful. A great location, quiet, by the Hausergraght and in an old Amsterdam building.

Cons:

Very small shower room, with water temperature varying. The breakfasts were quite limited and not wonderful ingredients.

No cumplió mis expectativas
Pros:

Ubicación

Cons:

El personal no pone interés en comunicarse con personas que no hablen inglés, si no sabes hablar inglés ni siquiera intentan usar un traductor para poder entenderse con el cliente, y eso en un hotel es inaceptable.
La habitación fría a la llegada. Apagan la calefacción de la habitación cuando hacen la limpieza y si has dejado la habitación ventilando te dejan las ventanas abiertas (eso en Ámsterdam es un problema).
Las habitaciones tienen mucho polvo.
Escaleras muy incómodas para maletas.
La habitación muy pequeña para el precio del hotel. No tiene armario. En el aseo no hay prácticamente espacio, no hay armarios.
Desayuno poco variado.
No repetiremos.

ödediğim para ile daha iyi bir hizmet almalıydım. bu otel sahipleri, Antalya otellerini görmeliler
Pros:

fena değil

Cons:

kahvaltı salonu küçük.
odalar çok küçük.
banyo için terlik yoktu. yalınayak yerlere basarak yürüdüm.
camlardan çok soğuk hava geliyordu. camlardaki yalıtım çok zayıftı.
el yıkama lavobasu çeşmeye çok yakın olduğu için ellerimi yıkarken sular yerlere çok sıçrıyordu. yerler su içinde kaldı. Daha sonra ellerimi banyoda yıkamak zorunda kaldım.
oda aydınlatması çok yetersiz. odanın içi karanlık gibiydi.

Booked a room with two single beds for 2 colleagues, and when we got there they told us they can't promise what we booked for and gave us a single bed and was not able to accommodate.

Excelente!
Pros:

Gostamos muito da nossa estadia no hotel! A localização é excelente, facilitando bastante o deslocamento pela cidade, e o quarto era muito confortável e bem organizado.

Outro grande destaque foi o atendimento da equipe, sempre extremamente simpática, atenciosa e prestativa. Em especial, queremos agradecer à Larissa, brasileira, que nos deu toda a atenção e suporte durante a estadia, fez toda a diferença na nossa experiência!

Com certeza recomendamos o hotel e voltaríamos a nos hospedar novamente. 🇧🇷
